The Mitsubishi Outlander is an important model for the Japanese manufacturer. It is now much sleeker looking and, thanks to this new shape, it is more aerodynamic.

Mitsubishi Outlander safety should not be too much of a concern. The previous generation was awarded four stars for adult occupant safety in Euro NCAP crash tests and this version is even better. The Outlander has scored well in European crash tests. It boasts a five-star Euro NCAP rating, including a 100 per cent score for its safety assist systems.

All models will come with electronic stability control, which helps you retain control of the vehicle in emergency situations, and front airbags.
